We and everything else, are made of energy vibrating at different frequency levels. Negative energy, like negative emotions vibrate at different levels than positive emotions like contentment. You feel this when you are near someone who is in a bad mood or generally is a pessimist. Negative energy feels heavy, is restrictive and keep you &quot;stuck&quot;.<br />

The goal is then to gradually and intentionally &quot;peel the onion&quot; so to speak to discover whatever lies at the core of these patterns.An Energy Practitioner who uses acupressure and energy, helps the client release the negative energy. </b></span></span></div>

<div align="center" style="margin-top: 11.25pt; text-align: center;">&nbsp;</div>
<div align="center" style="margin-top:11.25pt;text-align:center"><span style="color:#696969;"><b><font size="6"><b><span style="font-size: 16pt;">How to Cope With Stress and Become More Resilient</span></b></font></b></span></div>
<div style="margin-top:7.5pt"><span style="color:#696969;"><b><font size="6"><b>&nbsp;</b></font><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Emotional resilience is partially inborn, but can (and should) be learned and developed. If you&rsquo;d like to be able to handle life&rsquo;s challenges (both major and minor) with greater ease, to grow from adversity, and to turn potentially negative events into positive ones, the following steps can help you to do just that, and to become more emotionally resilient.</span></b></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#696969;"><br />
	</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#696969;"><b><font size="4"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Here&#39;s How:</span></font></b></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#696969;"><br />
	</span></div>
<div style="margin-left:36.0pt;text-indent:-18.0pt;"><span style="color:#696969;"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">1.<span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span></b><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Develop The Right Attitude:</span></b><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br />
	Resilient people tend to view life&rsquo;s difficulties as &lsquo;challenges&rsquo;, and respond accordingly: with action, rather than with fear, self-pity, blame or a &lsquo;victim mentality&rsquo;. While life can be very challenging, an important step in becoming more resilient is to <a href="http://stress.about.com/od/optimismspirituality/a/positiveselftak.htm"><span style="text-decoration: none;">create positive self talk</span></a> and to remind yourself that you are strong and can grow stronger and more wise as you handle life&rsquo;s challenges. </span></b></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="color:#696969;"><br />
	</span></div>
<div style="margin-left:36.0pt;text-indent:-18.0pt;"><span style="color:#696969;"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">2.<span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span></b><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Become Aware:</span></b><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br />
	Part of resilience is emotional awareness; it&rsquo;s important to understand what you&rsquo;re feeling and why. Sometimes people feel overwhelmed with their emotions, and this frightens and immobilizes them. Knowing why you feel upset can provide valuable information about what needs to change in your life. It&rsquo;s also important to do research on how to meet the challenges you face. <u><a href="http://stress.about.com/od/generaltechniques/ht/howtojournal.htm"><span style="text-decoration: none;">Maintaining a journal</span></a> </u>can help you explore your inner world and come up with plans of action. </span></b></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="color:#696969;"><br />
	</span></div>
<div style="margin-left:36.0pt;text-indent:-18.0pt;"><span style="color:#696969;"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">3.<span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span></b><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Develop An Internal Locus of Control:</span></b><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br />
	Resilient people believe that they&rsquo;re in control of their lives, and it&rsquo;s true: while we can&rsquo;t control our circumstances, we can control how we respond to those circumstances, and that makes a big difference in our attitudes and in the course our lives take. Fortunately, you can develop an <a href="http://stress.about.com/od/lowstresslifestyle/ss/control_5.htm"><span style="text-decoration: none;">internal locus of control</span></a>; here&rsquo;s how. </span></b></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="color:#696969;"><br />
	</span></div>
<div style="margin-left:36.0pt;text-indent:-18.0pt;"><span style="color:#696969;"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">4.<span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span></b><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Cultivate Optimism:</span></b><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br />
	Being an optimist is more than looking on the bright side (though that helps); it&rsquo;s a way of viewing the world where you maximize your strengths and accomplishments, and minimize your weaknesses and setbacks. Developing a more optimistic world view can help you become more resilient; here&rsquo;s how to <a href="http://stress.about.com/od/optimismspirituality/a/optimismbenefit_2.htm"><span style="text-decoration: none;">become an optimist</span></a>. </span></b></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="color:#696969;"><br />
	</span></div>
<div style="margin-left:36.0pt;text-indent:-18.0pt;"><span style="color:#696969;"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">5.<span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span></b><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Rally Social Support:</span></b><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br />
	While we ultimately face our own challenges, a supportive friend or group of friends can help lighten the load. Those with strong networks of social support tend to stay healthier and happier throughout life, and tend to cope well with stress. (Conversely, those with little support may find themselves more vulnerable, and those with conflicted and unsupportive relationships tend to fare even worse!)

	If you&rsquo;re able to laugh at life&rsquo;s frustrations, you can have increased immunity to stress and adversity. Those with a sense of humor about life tend to experience life as less stressful, are able to bond with others during difficult times, and experience the <u><a href="http://stress.about.com/od/stresshealth/a/laughter.htm"><span style="text-decoration: none;">benefits of laughter</span></a></u>,</span><span style="font-size: 16px;"> <span style="font-size: 18px;">which are numerous. If you can take a step back from difficult situations long enough to maintain your sense of humour, you will be more resilient, too. </span></span></b></span></div>

	Pain comes and it goes. It is just one component to the grand cycle of life. And when experienced as such, pain can serve as an important teacher. It is when we get stuck in our pain that it becomes detrimental to our well-being and development. If you notice that you feel closed-off, resentful, heavy-hearted, or that you try very hard to avoid being hurt again, there may be a part of you that is still stuck in pain. Pain is a warning signal that something is wrong, either at that very physical point or somewhere related. </b></span></span></div>

<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105);"><b><span style="color:#a52a2a;">Pay attention to it! It can save your life!</span></p>
<p>	We can get stuck in our pain for many reasons. As children, it was natural for us to cry, throw a tantrum, and let the experience move through us. By fully feeling our pain in this way, our emotions would wash us clean, leaving us open and available to new experiences. With age, though, we might have determined that expressing emotion was no longer appropriate, and so we developed a variety of coping strategies to deal with our discomfort. We may have learned to stuff our feelings down or to run away from them. Perhaps we began thinking that staying closed and unwilling to try new things would keep us safe from heartbreak, safe from rejection, and safe from failure. We may have even gotten so used to being in pain that the thought of being without it scares us. But, if we continue to hold onto it longer than necessary, we are expending a lot of energy that could instead be channeled into making our life experiences more positive. </p>
<p>	If you notice that you are continually connecting with the same familiar patterns of pain, consider embracing your feelings and letting go of your hurt. Whether your pain is from childhood or from an experience last week, see if you can give it room to move. When it does, you will reconnect with a wonderful source of your own vital energy. </b></span></span></div>
